This control is used to disable the radio (Off), limit operation to MIMOA or enable dual
stream MIMO B operation. Each wireless link can be configured individually. This
selection determines the settings available in the wireless link configuration.

Redundancy Configuration: Redundant Base Station (1+1) Option
Use the following settings to configure the 1+1 link redundancy option for the sector
controller. This feature must be enabled by the options key (
).
Note
: Rapid Path introduces enhanced functionality to the Redundant Base Station
solution that transitions packet switching from the master to the slave sector controller
within seconds of a failover event. It is recommended to always deploy Rapid Path with
the Base Station Redundancy solution (feature is enabled by the options key (
).

Redundancy Role
: Choose the role for this sector controller.
None
: Redundancy mode is disabled.
Primary
: This is the Primary sector controller. The primary unit is normally active and
controls the sector (RF enabled).
Backup
: This is the backup sector controller. This unit is normally inactive (standby)
with the RF disabled. The backup unit monitors the status of the primary unit and
assumes control of the sector if the primary unit does not respond to status inquiries.
Peer IP Address
: Enter the IP address of the peer sector controller (Primary/Backup).
The primary and backup sector controllers must be capable of exchanging status
messages over the local network. Switchover from the active to standby unit is initiated
by a loss of communications between the units (device failure).
Timeouts[s]
: Enter the period (seconds) to wait for a response from the peer unit.
The primary and backup units issue periodic status requests to determine if: the peer is
present; the operational setting (primary/backup); and the current status (active/inactive)
